Where Dead Bodies Lie (The Body Dowser Series, #1)
by Kat Cazanav
Release Date: 12/16/14
Summary from Goodreads:
For as long as I can remember, I have been told to
follow three important rules;
Always guard my ability
Never share my secret
And pretend to be normal.
However, those three little rules don’t make my life easier. I still find dead people and deal with strange visions. Not to mention, an attraction to a boy who doesn’t exist. Whenever we cross path’s he mists away like smoke on a mirror. He drives me crazy, that Kaff Cooper.
As a flock of dead crows fall from the blackened sky, Kaff becomes the only one who can see the truth straight to the dark underbelly of who I actually am.
My hands feel the pull to extract the forsaken, the lost, the forgotten. It comes as naturally as breathing and there is no stopping it.

Excerpt;
A few more steps into the shadows and the lightness of a feather
brushed against my cheek. Instinctively, I turned around, expecting
to see someone but instead I lost my balance and stumbled forward,
arms extended to catch my fall. I landed on my knees, my hands
scraped by broken twigs and rocks. I shifted my focus from my hands
to a crumbling neighborhood further off in the distance. Barely
visible through heavy fog, the dilapidated buildings had a rippling
effect. There was no clear explanation for it, but looking back on
that moment later, I realized the nausea, dizziness, little black
dots floating across my eyes, even the black crows passing overhead,
were all precursors to what was about to happen.
The
ground rumbled and opened up, like a woman spreading her arms wide to
take me in. There was only one frightening explanation for this and
as absurd as it seemed, it made sense.
Body
dowsing. Someone was waiting for me in the limitless black hole
beneath my feet.”
